Repairs In Progress at Texas Falls, Falls of Lana and Robert Frost Trail: the U.S. Service is working to repair this area’s flood damage from the August 2008 flood event. An engineering firm is currently designing a new bridge (due in autumn 2009). The new bridge design will include upgrades to make the Texas Falls area accessible for people with disabilities and will include a new boardwalk to discourage “off-trail” use that damages the ecosystem. Construction of the bridge is expected in the summer of 2010.
